New binding legislation seeks to prepare European regions for the effects of climate change
AI-generated summary
The European Commission has proposed a new legislative framework to force countries to improve their resilience to climate change.
The European Commission launched this Tuesday its European Climate Resilience Framework, which includes a Climate Resilience Law that establishes "a common reference trajectory for global warming." That is, it goes beyond an action plan and contains legislation, which must now be validated by the European Council (the countries) and the Parliament, and which will force countries to take measures to fight climate change. And to explain the importance of this measure and the impact it has on countries, in Brussels they have pointed to Valencia as a very clear and close example in time of the consequences that, in this case, the Danas, have on a region and a city.
"We have seen, for example, how Valencia suffered another torrential rain last week. It is very clear that companies will think twice before investing in a region like Valencia, or many others, if that region is not better prepared for the effects of climate change," explains a senior Commission official. "What cannot be insured ends up becoming something in which you cannot invest," adds this same source.
